Elimination tournaments
Elimination is the classic format with a clear winner: teams play through a group stage, the semi-finals and the final. Assign teams to groups under Participants. For each stage you can set how many games decide a match under Best of.
Elimination needs an even number of teams.
Custom games
Custom games are scoreboards for darts, bowling and similar party formats, where how points or lives are shown matters more than a bracket. Many creators use one Elimination tournament for the bracket and a separate Custom games tournament for the in-game scoreboard.
- Hearts elimination
- Every team (and optionally every player) starts with a number of hearts and loses them on lost rounds. Out of hearts means out of the game.
- Points per round
- Each round adds a column of points, with a total so viewers can see who's ahead.
- Best-of series
- Matches over several rounds. Round winners are marked and the match winner is highlighted.
- Tannenbaumkegeln and Hasenjagd
- Special modes built for bowling and throwing events, with their own layouts.
- Scolia cutthroat
- Connects Scolia smart dartboards. It needs extra hardware and setup, so contact support before you plan with it.
